Decoration Day.

The thirtieth of the month is near,
the day which brings to every heart
some remembrance of the sacrifice by
which our Union was saved twenty
years ago; which scatterS flowers over
countless graves, long since green with
the all-healing grass, and decks the
monuments that bear the records of
our soldiers deeds This day which
brings to each heart a tribute of CRATE
full remembrance, brings also TO thou
sands of hearts sad and fearful mem
cries. On this day many will kneel be-
side the graves of their dead and from
the inscriptions wipe the effacing moss,
'for every heart best knoweth It's own
loss" and many hearts will turn toward
the graves where among the unrecorded
dead their dear ones sleep. The COM
memoratiye services. which will honor
the memory OF the dead whose names
are written on our monument, will be
in the main, what they have always
been. The decoration of the monument,
the services of the g. A. r., music by
the band and by the choir, will precede
the address, which will be delivered by
Captain p. J. Clawson of Monroe, an
officer of the goth Wisconsin Capt
Clawson is said to be most eloquent
speaker, fun OF enthusiasm, whose
memory is replete with "reminiscences of
the war. that will find an echo in every
soldiers heart. The flowers which usu-
ally bloom to die upon ''sacrifcial
altar on this day, have this year come
too soon, and there is some fear ex-
pressed that all the blossoms will have
faded before Memorial Day. 1t is there
fore desirable that every one should in
terest himself 10 procure as many
flowers as possible that there may be
no lack of their fragrance and beauty,
to supplement the offering each heart
brings

Sneak Thieves,

The other night somebody made a
raid ON Mrs. Warehouses; soft-soap
barrel. The same night lot of bread
was taken from house near the depot.
The disappearance of these two staple
articles on the same night give rise to
much ground for speculation as to
why these things and no Others should
be taken. What connection have the
twoP No elections are coming on, there
fore the felonious abstraction of a'auan-
tity of that yielding, detergent substance
formed by a combination of oleaginous
and alkaline substances cannot be laid
to smooth tongued Office seeker.
Possibly some member of the "great
unwashed" has rashly decided to depart
from his family tradition. We give up
the bread problem as philosophers before
us have done. That night must have
been night of labor; to steal soft-soar
from one house and bread from another
and escape detection indicates an intel
lect capable of gaining more notoriety
for its possessor than even the column,
of the omnibus can give.

A Success.

This issue of the Semi-weekiy closes
the first year of its existence. That
this new departure in local journalism
has filed .'long felt want" and has
been appreciated by the people of the
county is evidenced By the fact that
our subscription list has grown rapidly
and steadily since its publication
began
If the amount of local matter that
appears in our two issues be added to-
gether and compared with that in any
other newspaper in Southwestern Wis
consin, the HERALD will be found to
be what we claim for it, the most COM
plete local paper in this section.
In some localities where the mail
facilities are not good, the HERALD
would no doubt be better appreciated
if the whole amount of news published
were combined in one issue, but in
other places the Monday edition, bring
ing the county and general news three
days earlier than any other paper, is a
welcome visitor.
A report has been circulated that the
HERALD would not be issued semi
weekly after the completion of its first
year. This report, however, is I'M
founded. The little paper has been sent
gratuitously, and will be continued as
long as its publisher considers it to the
mutual advantage of himself and the
subscribers.

BLIND BOONE AGAIN The enthusi-
assn created by Blind Boone through
out this section of the country, as ex-
pressed through the newspaper reports
of his concerts. has been greater than
that shown for any public performance
of any nature for several years. The
expression of unqualified praise has
been universal The satisfaction was
perhaps greater for having been so UNI
expected. The impression was that
Boone was an imitation, and travelling
upon the reputation of Blind Tom. As
matter of fact he is even a greater
wonder than Tom, and finer performer.
So many stayed away from the Boone
concert at the Methodist church here
April 20, who wish they had not, and
so many who attended are ANXIOUS to
hear him again. that our enterprising
theatrical man, MIR L. c. Burr, has ar
ranged with Boone's manager for
smother concert to be given at HYDE 5
Hall about the last of this month. The
date will be announced soon. A num-
heF of Platteville people have expressed
their intention of coming up to hear
Boone on his return here, and a good
many Lancaster people will return the
compliment by attending the opera to
be given there at the City Hall by the
Bensherg Opera Company about June 5.

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING. - Dur
ing the thunder storm the other
night lightning struck the telegraph
wire near Lancaster aud running
along it till 1t come to twist in the
wire, near the Rhodes place west of
town, burned the wire in two. Capt.
Beebe was up yesterday and fixed it.
He also discovered that the lightning
had followed the wire into the
Teller Office and ignited some papers
lying on the table where the instru-
ment is. The papers were found
charred, showing how narrow had been
the escape from q conhagration. 1t
would have been pity for Col. Clark's
block to have burned.

Cold Spring Creamery.


Among the successful manufacturing
enterprises of this thriving little city
there is none that deserves more encour-
agement than the Cold SpringCreamery.
This institution has always been a
source of revenue to the city and of
profit to its owners. This spring it has
undergone extensive repairs, over 81 200
having been laid out on repairs and i'm
proyements. Its situation is advantage
the city over as fine spring of water
as ever gushed from the earth. Lam
caster, surrounded by fertile country,
is IN the center of great milk produc-
ing area. With its natural advantages
of location, and with all the modern
improved machinery for butter-making,
there is no reason why this industry
should not flourish.
Its managers having had other bust
ness interests to look after, have, in past
seasons, allowed other towns to en-
croach upon territory rightfully belong
ing to Lancaster and to gather cream
within few miles of town. Now the
tables are turned and cream is gathered
for the Lancaster creamery within five
miles of Potosi, four miles of Platte
Vile, and within two miles of Fenni-
more and Bloomington.
The Cold Spring Creamery was built
by Emerson De Puy and two gentlemen
residing i'll Elgin, III. A. Z. Morse
bought the Elgin men out and became
a partner with De Puy. Trowbridge
and Black afterwards bought out De
Puy and it was run under the firm
name of Trowbridge, Morse & Black.
Trowbridge and Black have since
retired, and the well-established business
is now run in the name of Morse &
Wiley, though they have recently taken
in third partner in this branch of their
business. This .'silentn partner is in
reality pretty active partner. Not
only has he taken financial intere st in
the business, but with characteristic
energy has pulled off his coat and gone
to work to get back all the patronage
the creamery has lost, but TO get lots
that it never had.
They have this spring been paying
from one to three cents pound more
for cream than other creameries in this
section, and say they will not be over
bid. They have secured the services of
Mr.. H. Fl. Aupperman OF Strawberry
Point, Iowa, an experienced butter
maker, and expect to turn out 5000
pounds of butter per week. Checks
payable in goods at any store in Lam
caster will be issued for cream, so that
the enterprise is one that should receive
the encouragement of every business
man in the city.

FLOWER MIssIoS.-A notice in this
Issue calls attention to the fact, that the
flower committee of the W. c.. T. u.
viii be at the social room of the Congre-
gational church tomorrow morning from
nine till one, to receive contributions of
flowers to send BY the afternoon express
to Chicago to be distributed by the
Flower Mission among the sick of that
city. II is hoped that all who have
flowers win bring what they can if only
few, AND it is suggested, by one of the
ladies in charge, that the flowers be
picked early in the morning and put in
water for few hours, as they pack
much better when the stems have been
allowed to fill their cells with moisture.
This Flower Mission is one which
carries gladness to many weary hearts,
and a breath of country fragrance into
numberless sick chambers. tainted
with damp and unwhoiesome odors. 1t
is hardly possible to realize, with flowers
blooming all about us, breathing air that
is heavy with their perfume, how much
a single blossom may mean TO some one,
whose eyes rest only upon the dingy
walls of a sitting room and through the
besmeared windows find only small
patch of sky obscured by smoke. To
pick flowers and bring them to-morrnw
morning to the ladies of the committe
win be enc easy way of sharing your
pleasures with those whose pleasures are
few, and to do, in what seems small
way, really grea. thing.

THE ReFald's Omnibus,
Dead Sea Frnit.

Dead Sea Fruit.
On the day that father Adam was
created, by some unforeseen jumbling
of atoms, molecules, or particles. was
| produced in his bosom an unspeakable
longing for something yet unattained.
He was given an Eve, but the unfathom-
able craving led him on-out of Eden
and into world of brambles and trouble.
The world is growing old, and that
peculiar passion has steadily grown
stronger since the genesis of creation.
People want something. and from want
ing it they grow to expecting it to come.
Go to the Lancaster post office any
evening aud there you will see people
enquiring for mail who never have
gotten letter in all their lives, and
they probably never will; but every
night, rainy or fair, they are found at
the anxious window, and you will hear
them say, "it's funny something don't
come" Up at the depot it is the same
way. People continually look for some
body who never comes; they enquire
about the coming and going of trains
that will neither take nor bring for
them. Very likely it was this
peculiar desire that led the HERALD's
all-around to enquire for express
few evenings ago. Now, the all-around
had plenty to eat, drink and wear, and
needed absolutely nothing that the
world could give-unless it was rest.
Mr.. "Short-and-long-hau the insa-
table express fiend, scooped in the
poor reporters only quarter and passed
him out suspicious looking box which,
he assured the receiver, came from Bos-
cobel. The box said on one corner,
"Please deliver" but the reporter
turned out his pocket and assured the
box that he had no more money, so
they left the corner and came down
town together. The all-around could
not imagine what the box contained.
Last fall he received a pair of cane
bottom shoes that the sender had worn
all summer, and just as hot weather
was coming on this spring somebody
sent him a heavy overcoat and fur
cap, but as TO guessing the contents of
that box, he dare not try it. A quiet
place was found-where no one could
jump onto the meek reporter and yell
that's one on you, come set 'em up''-
and the box broken open. Two sorry
looking Dog fish, about foot long,
together with a letter bearing the Bos-
cobtl Central House card, summed up
the contents of the box Owing to
the hot weather the fish were too far
gone for home consumption. The
aroma that encompassed them about
would soon fill large Hall and re-
minded one of d Suck ar. 1t is needless
to say that the fish were dead
Your mark-your trade mark, me boy,
Crops out and easily bates you:
Dog fish-dead Dog fish--aead dog!
y, Bren, how easy to trace you
The letter, unsigned, stated that one
fish was to be given to the proprietor of
the Wright House. The Catch as-catch-
can wrestler. he of the horrible rib, re-
fused to receive the goods on the
grounds that Cap. was not there now,

bosom. The prospect was hopeless and
discouraging enough before; no spring
rains this season, the earth parched and

tempt the fisherman from his pew in

Commissioner of immigration of Da-
kOta, was born in Franklin county. In
diana, in 1858. He moved with his par
ents to Davis county, Kansas, in 1854,
where his father, Capt. j. X. Mcclure,
one of the leading lawyers of that state
and veteran in the Mexican and civil
wars, still resides. He gave his son as
thorough an education as the common
schools of Kansas could afford land later
sent him to Cornell university. He in
tended p. F. should become lawyer,
but he soon displayed more liking for
mechanics than the study of law and
left his fathers Office for the purpose of
accepting position with manufacture
ing firm in Chicago. Before he was
twenty-one years of age he had per-
fected grain-binding machine, which
was afterwards disposed of to the
Marsh Harvester company, of Plano.
Ill. For number of years thereafter
he was connected with different manu-
featuring establishments in Illinois and
Ohio, and some of the earliest
and most successful improve
ments in grain-binding machin-
cry were his inventions. During
the year 1879 he visited the different
countries of Europe as the agent of G.
Aultman d. Co., Canton, o., manufact-
urers of agricultural machinery. Upon
his return he determined to go into
business for himself. and, together with
w. Ii. Checker, young gentleman from
Salem. o., started DakOtaward, chOos-
ing for the site of their venture the
town of Pierre, arriving there in the fall
of 1880, just after the townsite had
been plated. The firm of Checker q
Mcclure has done a thriving business
ever since, dealing in hardware and
agricultural implements. Mcclure was
appointed county surveyor upon the Or
ganization of the county (HugheS),
elected one of the county commissioners
at the first regular election held in the
county, and elected mayor of Pierre in
1885 and reelected the following year.
He has spent several winters at Wash
ington, urging the passage of the Dawes
bill opening up the great Sioux reserva-
ton, and is very enthusiastic on this
subject. 1t is his intention to spend the
present winter at the national capital
in the interests of this measure. Mr..
McCiure's appointments commissioner
of immigration was among the first
made by Gov. Church. and he is making
a record that he may well feel proud of.
